Swatch teams up with Chinese art collective Bird Head


Swiss watchmaker Swatch has come up with another artsy timepiece this time teaming up with the dynamic artist collective Bird Head, which comprises the two photographer Ji Weiyu and Song Tao.

This is a new latest addition to their highly successful Swatch & Art series .

The design arises from Bird Head`s ongoing preoccupation with the medium of photography and the various ways in which photographic processes can explore and document the passing of time. 

A delicate black and white palette has been deployed by the duo, ensuring this particular time piece whispers rather than shouts its presence, while its grainy photo-print surface encourages a sense of ambiguity.  It features a monochromatic wristband and face with quirky orange hand.
